Woah, amazing. I cannot believe nobody else thought of this! Fritz, you genius!
One thing that’s frustrating about Germany (and EU in general) is that they don’t see why aligning with China is against their interests and it takes US pressure to get them to act (how difficult was it to keep EU from installing Chinese telecom spyware?). As soon as US pressure became less effective (thanks Trump!) they go a do something dumb. Meanwhile China is going to eat Germany’s industrials (cars, trains, the mittelstand) for breakfast.
Just because the US is annoying doesn’t mean you should ally yourself with China.
> We have a strategic interest in finding partners in the world who think the way we do, who act the way we do, and who above all are prepared to shape the future together so that we remain a country with prosperity and a high level of social security
China is none of that. The Chinese would celebrate for weeks if Volkswagen goes bankrupt. They support russia with weapons because it weakens Europe. They definitely do not think like we do.
Yes, they are a trading partner, the same as the US, but that is where it stops.
Terrible move! 🤦♂️
